Author Message   Coxster Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 01:19 am:        even if you don't like the bike, the website is worth checking out most every day http://www.bikeexif.com/buell-x1   Foximus Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 01:32 am:        Uh... a bit to low in the rear for me... but. AWESOME. edit. Just realized its forward controls... so its not for laying turns.   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 09:47 am:        what makes it a X1 exactly? The motor? Cause the frame aint buell at all, looks like a sporty frame I like the bike, but it aint a buell   Brinnutz Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 09:52 am:        I do like it alot but wouldn't call it a Buell by any means. Buell powered is all you can say about it. "The motor nestles in a Sportster frame, but the front end is pure sportbike—courtesy of a Honda VTR 1000 RC51 SP2. (And probably just as well, given the drastic hike in power.) Keeping the back end planted are a Honda CB1100SF X11 swingarm and Öhlins shock."   Hootowl Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 11:15 am:        "You don’t often see Buell-based customs, and when you do, they’re invariably of the streetfighter genre." I guess the author is unaware of eBay and Craigslist, the place where chopped Buells go to die.   Jayvee Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 11:26 am:        Wow, he got a "drastic hike in power" from changing the air filter and exhaust, Mikuni carb, and single fire ignition. Maybe I should try that. Well I guess I did, except for the Mikuni carb. He got so much power he had to add a 'sportbike front end', those crappy upside-down Showas just won't cut it with forward controls.   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Monday, July 30, 2012 - 11:06 pm:        Jay - likely swapped to that front end for the looks (I must admit, I love the gold over the standard silver of Buell forks. And since he probably didnt start with a buell, probably just picked up the cheapest option available. They talk about a buell motor, but they also call it a buell, so I am not convinced it is a Buell motor, possibly just having buell heads. Its a popular upgrade with Sportster racers   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 11:46 pm:        wheres the oil tank?   Foximus Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 02:59 am:        The oiltank is actually fairly obvious... Not hiding in the least. How long will it take for you to spot it? lol   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 08:43 am:        chin spoiler and belly pan?   Oldog Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 10:27 am:        wheres the battery in the tail? nicely done SPORTSTER   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 03:21 pm:        battery is under the swingarm mount? Oil is in the chin fairing/belly pan?
